This tutorial will walk you through the process to install the Oath Kodi addon. The instructions in this tutorial work exactly the same for all Kodi-compatible devices, including Amazon Fire TV / Firestick, Android TVs, mobile devices, and Windows and Mac computers.
The Oath addon has gained massive popularity among Kodi users. This fairly new and high-quality addon is compatible with any version of Kodi, such as Kodi 18 Leia and Kodi 19 Matrix. Oath allows users to stream tons of video content, including movies and TV shows.
Oath is a great Exodus fork that comes with multiple scraper packages and supports numerous Debrid services, like Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, Premiumize, and Link Snappy. Other features include Trakt support, Orion indexer, and library integration.
How to Install The Oath Kodi Addon
Now, I will show you how to install the Oath addon on Kodi, step by step. There are many steps, so I have divided the process into three parts for your convenience.
Attention, Kodi Users!
Kodi Addons and builds offer unlimited streaming content, but could also get you into legal trouble if caught streaming free movies, TV shows, or sports. Currently, your IP 95.180.33.71 is visible to everyone. Kodi users are strongly advised to always connect a VPN while streaming online. A good Kodi VPN hides your identity, bypasses government surveillance, geo-blocked content, and ISP throttling (which also helps in buffer-free streaming).
I personally use ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is very easy to install on any device including Amazon FireStick. You get 3-months free and save 49% on its annual plans. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied, you can always ask for a refund.

Part 1: Allow Unknown Sources on Kodi
There are two types of Kodi addons: official addons and third-party addons. Official add-ons are installed from the Kodi Add-ons repository, whereas third-party addons like Oath are downloaded from third-party sources.
By default, Kodi does not allow you to install third-party addons. However, you can change that with a Kodi setting called Unknown sources. Since Oath is a third-party addon, let’s change that Kodi setting so we can install it.
Here’s what to do:
1. Launch the Kodi app on your device. On the Kodi home screen, select the settings gear in the top-left corner.

2. Select System in the bottom-right corner.

3. Scroll to Add-ons on the left side.

4. Find Unknown sources on the right side of the screen. This setting needs to be on (switched to the right). If it’s switched to the left for off, select the setting to turn it on.

How to Use the Oath Addon on Kodi
Now that you have installed the Oath Kodi addon, we’ll take a quick look at it.
First, let’s open The Oath. Starting on the Kodi home screen, go to Add-ons in the left menu, then Video add-ons, then TheOath.
Below is a screenshot of the home screen of the Oath addon.

You will see a list of folders on Oath’s home screen.
Go to Movies or TV Shows to explore all of the respective content.
Select My Movies or My TV Shows to continue watching the content you’ve saved.
Interested in a new release? New Movies or New Episodes will help you find it.
It’s wise to glance through Tools in case you find settings that could be helpful to you.
Finally, Search lets you find movies or shows by keyword. Sometimes, searching for the full title of a movie or show will work just fine. If the full title doesn’t work, try searching for a single word from the title, ideally the most unique word.
Before you start streaming with Kodi Addons or Builds, I would like to warn you that everything you stream on Kodi is visible to your ISP and Government. This means, streaming copyrighted content (free movies, TV shows, live TV, and Sports) might get you into legal trouble.
Thankfully, there is a foolproof way to keep all your streaming activities hidden from your ISP and the Government. All you need is a good VPN for Kodi. A VPN will mask your original IP which is 95.180.33.71 and will help you bypass Online Surveillance, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.
I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is compatible with all kinds of streaming apps and devices.
NOTE: We do not encourage the violation of copyright laws. But, what if you end up streaming content from an illegitimate source unintentionally? It is not always easy to tell the difference between a legit and illegal source.
So, before you start streaming on Kodi, here’s how to get VPN protection in 3 simple steps.
Step 1: Get the ExpressVPN subscription HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it free for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.
Step 2: Click HERE to download and install the ExpressVPN app on your streaming device. If you are using a FireStick, I have given the exact steps starting with Step 4 below.
Step 3: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for Kodi.

The following are the steps to install Kodi VPN on your Fire TV devices. If you have other streaming devices, follow Step 1-3 above.
Step 4: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE (if not subscribed already).
Step 5: Go to Fire TV Stick home screen. Click Find followed by Search option (see image below).

Step 6: Type Expressvpn in the search bar and select when it shows up.
